Alright, so, I've been around horses ever since I was born and I am quite fond of them. Looking around or colleges, a few friends reccomended a school called 'Olds College' in the Alberta area. They seem to have a nice campus and many horse-specified diplomas. First off you get your 'Equine Sciences'. Then you may go back to get a major. I was looking at a Major in Horsemanship, but I'm not quite sure what I'd be getting into. Could someone help me? I am interested in the things I'd be learning, and jobs I could do with the major/diploma. If you guys could help out I'd appriciate it.
And if it helps, the college website can be found here.
Thanks!

i was looking at going to olds a while back for horsemanship. but there really isnt good money in horses, unless ur really lucky. the best one to go into would probably be the buisness major. u dont get to ride, but when u graduate, there are beter paying jobs out there. my coach took the breeding major there. and the lady that first taught me to ride took horsemanship, but is now doing something totally unhorse realated. im going for my animal health science instead (college interview tomarrow! wich me luck!!). the thing about the different majors is that only in the horsemanship major is there any riding involved, which sucks. but about olds in general, i went there a couple years ago for a 4H thing, and they have a really nice place. plus theyre putting 7 MILLION dollars into the equine studies for the 2007/2008 year (theyre going to make more buildings and improvements and stuff). with the horsemanship ,major its basically going to college 2 years to become a coach. buisness u learn things like how to run a barn and sell horses and make deals and stuff. and breeding is well, breeding. training foals and stuff.

xD Uh, ok? I was thinking about breeding, but, I'm abit squeemish so im not so sure. I wonder, is it possible to get a double Major? I'm not interested in business much, but breeding could be a possibility, as I really do want to train. I'm not really interested in making alot of money, just enough to sustain myself.

in ohio, they have a nice horse program
but... the horse industry is gonna go down down and down
only thing will be going up is unwanted horses because of the horse slaughter being banned at the moment
that will really set back the breeding programs, i think.
alot of horses will need homes that they are taken good care of...
I'm at Truman State University, and they have a small equine program...
I just decided to get an Accounting Major and my minors will be Animal Scien- Equine & Ag Busniess
I'm really interested in Therapeutic Riding
it's so rewarding seeing the people the first day and the very last day of 'class'
That is what Ohio is doing... I just don't have the money to go there.. but on www.narha.com you can find out more about Therapeutic riding...
EDIT: ... are you even in the USA? or Canada?
